Steward Comment

Bumped on jumping, taken in and bumped again near the 1800m. Raced keenly near the 1600m. Shifted wider from the 800m to commence a forward move. Raced wide for the majority. Laid in and bumped on entering the home straight. Momentarily steadied from heels near the 50m. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. Trainer advised that the gelding would now likely be sent for an immediate spell.

Steward Comment

Bumped on jumping, shifted out and bumped again. Raced keenly near the 1700m. Raced wide early before being permitted to stride forward from the 1500m and settle into a leading position nearer the inside running rail at the 1300m. Bumped on the hindquarters and became unbalanced approaching the 200m. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. Jockey advised that, in his opinion, the mare is better suited to racing more conservatively with cover and having to press forward early to avoid being caught wide was a telling factor.

Steward Comment

Bumped on jumping. Raced wide in the early stages. Under pressure from the 700m. Commenced to tire form the 500m. Finished tailed off. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. Trainer advised that, in his opinion, the gelding needs to be ridden quite aggressively as it has a tendency to drop the bit when permitted to do so. Trainer added that the intention would now be to freshen the gelding for a step back in trip and assess further from then.
